What happens if the top layer of a mole comes off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mole evaluation: All "moles" should be evaluated by your physician. More serious lesions may mimic the appearance of a "mole". Any change in size, color, character, or appearance of a skin lesion should prompt a biopsy. Consult our physician if your lesion is new or has changed or you have any other concerns. A biopsy is often the best way to establish a diagnosis.
